Counties, municipalities, and rural electric cooperatives across the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plains that need independent technical expertise — not more developer consultants. That's exactly what we provide.
A hyperscale data center proposal can land on a county commission's agenda with little warning. The developer arrives with engineering reports, utility agreements, and economic impact studies prepared by their own consultants. Local officials are expected to evaluate complex infrastructure claims — power loads, cooling systems, fiber routes, water usage — often with no independent technical voice in the room. We fix that.
We don't work for data center developers. We work for the communities, co-ops, and engineering firms that need unbiased technical expertise to navigate this landscape.
Planning commissions, county commissioners, and city councils facing data center zoning requests, conditional use permits, or development agreements. We translate the technical details into language your board can act on.
Co-ops receiving large industrial interconnection requests need to understand the infrastructure, grid impact, and contractual obligations before they sign anything. We provide the engineering perspective your team needs.
Engineering firms engaged on data center-adjacent projects — roads, utilities, site prep — that need a technical partner with specific data center infrastructure expertise to complement their scope.
Independent data center technical advisory — from the first proposal to the final approval. No developer relationships. No conflicts of interest.
First Consultation Free →We review developer-submitted engineering reports, utility filings, environmental assessments, and site plans. We know what to look for — and what's conveniently missing.
We monitor and interpret data center zoning proposals, conditional use permits, and development agreements so your planning staff isn't navigating uncharted territory alone.
We attend commission meetings, provide plain-language public testimony, and answer technical questions during negotiations and approval hearings on your behalf.
Custom municipal and commercial applications, AI-powered workflow tools, and data systems that help governments and co-ops manage infrastructure data more effectively.
We monitor proposals, zoning hearings, utility filings, and legislative activity across the region so our clients are never caught flat-footed.
A straightforward four-step process — from first call to final deliverable.
Free 30-minute consultation. We learn about your situation — proposal details, timeline, political context, and what outcome you need. No commitment required.
We review the developer's technical submissions, utility filings, environmental assessments, and site plans. We know what to look for and what's missing.
You get a clear, actionable findings report — what checks out, what doesn't, what questions to ask the developer, and what conditions to require.
We can attend commission meetings, provide public testimony, answer questions during negotiations, or stay on as technical advisors throughout the approval process.
Grizzly Paw Technology is a Denver-based IT engineering and consulting firm. We've worked in networking, infrastructure design, and systems integration for years — and we saw the data center boom coming before most counties knew what hit them.
We don't work for data center developers. We work for the communities, co-ops, and engineering firms that need unbiased technical expertise to navigate this landscape. That independence is the whole point.
The developers have billion-dollar balance sheets and armies of consultants. Local governments have planning staff who've never seen a 500-megawatt power load before. We level that playing field.
